VOLuMe 8 It’s the end of an era…or at least a decade, as our Earth makes its final terrestrial lap around the Sun. Hopefully that last few months have been filled with oodles of “Holiday Cheer” for all! But for those of us whose holiday spirit was a little less than merry, don’t be too discouraged. The cold weather can sometimes bring out the worst in some people. I’m talking about the spiteful, ignorant, small-minded folk that slip through the cracks I myself find it hard to keep my mouth shut, but depending on the circumstance, it is usually best just to bite your tongue. with that being said, 2010 is fast approaching, and I can’t think of a better time than right now to pitch in any last minute “Resolutions” for the “new year”. Of course if you happen to have the gift of Clairvoyance, then you will already have full coverage issued well into the next decade. all joking aside, I am personally looking forward to another year/decade. so, before the ink is dry, we turn the page, and close out this chapter of our lives, I wanted to take a quick look back on the end of the first decade of the “New Millennium” with bullet point precision. Let us Begin…. - TuesDay, JanuaRy 20TH 2009 Barack Obama became the 44th “President of The united states Of america”. The inauguration set an attendance record for any event held in washington D.C. also, based on combined attendance numbers, television viewership, and internet traffic put this among the most observed events ever by the global audience. - THuRsDay, June 25TH 2009 The world was stunned when news broke that one the favorite sons of american music “The king of Pop” Michael Jackson, had passed away. On a global scale the world mourned the loss of a legendary, talented, and innovative icon. as a result, an unexpected fallout ensued… The life and death of Michael Jackson became the TOP InTeRneT seaRCH OF 2009. Meanwhile, somewhere amongst the haze of the before mentioned tragedy, Hollywood finally said farewell to Farrah Fawcett & Patrick swayze. Both whom tragically lost their long winded battles with cancer. - JuLy, 17TH 2009 Legendary television personality, journalist, and anchorman walter Cronkite also passed away. Cronkite, best known for his historic coverage of the Vietnam war, Moon Landing, The assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Watergate, and covering the historic first American television broadcast of “The Beatles”…. all of these were carried across the wire via radio and television from the “Golden age of Television” to the “Digital age” of the present. about now, I am sure that you are feeling as though that you’re smack dab in the middle of a fill-in-the-blank community college….So, now is the point where I feel that I should draw a fine line in the sand to assure everyone that the “obituary section” of this 2009 retrospective is drawing to a close. But before I can do that, I wouldn’t be who I am without saying farewell to to Rock n’ Roll’s indisputable king of Innovation – Les Paul. Les Paul was an american jazz and country guitarist, songwriter, and inventor. He was a pioneer in the development of the solid body electric guitar which “made the sound of Rock n’ Roll possible”. He has been credited with many recording innovations including overdubbing (also known as sound on sound), delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects, and multi track recording. among his many honors, Paul is one of a handful of artists with a permanent, stand-alone exhibit in the “Rock n’ Roll Hall Of Fame”. This legacy is not only a testament to his ingenuity and love of music, but will forever continue to not only be heard by legendary guitar players such as slash, Jimmy Page, Zakk wylde, Joe Perry, Ted nugent….But by every kid that knows what it feels like to pick up, strap on, and plug in a “Gibson Les Paul” for the very first time. 44 Issue 9 - January 07, 2010 Copyright 2009.
